It is a fact that tobacco cigarettes contain over 4000 harmful and dangerous chemicals. It is a fact that tobacco cigarettes kill over 114,000 each year. It is also fact that the electronic cigarette delivers recreational nicotine without the harmful chemicals and thus saves lives.

So why is it that the government are considering plans to ban the electronic cigarette; something that could help wean smokers away from the dangerous chemicals found in tobacco whilst still allowing them their use of nicotine?

The MHRA, the regulators of Health in the UK have put together a consultation paper, MLX 364, claiming that every product that contains nicotine should be classed as a medicine and therefore fall under regulation.

Rt Hon Andy Burnham, secretary of health wants to use this as an opportunity to ban the electronic cigarette yet favours to keep the tobacco cigarette out of this legislation even though tobacco cigarettes also contain nicotine.

 

There seems to be major hypocrisy in that Rt Hon Andy Burnham seems to be favouring a product (tobacco) that kills 114,000 people each year yet he wants to ban the electronic cigarette that has claimed no lives since it’s invention.

 

It seems that the e cigarette, a revolutionary and safe way to deliver recreational nicotine to the masses, offends the pharmaceutical companies who are conveniently the paymasters of MHRA.

 

if Rt Hon Andy Burnham is successful in banning electronic cigarettes on 21st June 2010 then the only way for people to get their nicotine is together with the 4000 harmful chemicals that are in tobacco cigarettes.
